Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2021 CA3008
The Diverse Perspectives Student Journalists Reporting Tour is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Embassy London) grant opportunity designed to fund one organization to plan and run a 10-day reporting tour in the United States for up to five participants drawn from a UK-based journalism training organization. The Embassy anticipates making a single award, issued as a cooperative agreement, with funding expected to fall between USD 40,000 and USD 60,000 (maximum ceiling USD 60,000), subject to the availability of funds. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.040, is categorized as discretionary, and is open to eligible applicants without restriction beyond any clarifications in the full notice. The funding opportunity number is DOS LONDON PD 2021 CA3008, it was posted May 17, 2021, and the application deadline was June 15, 2021.
The core purpose of the program is educational and exchange-based: it aims to expose a diverse cohort of student or trainee journalists to key American policy issues and civic themes while also strengthening their practical reporting skills. The topics the tour is expected to cover include climate change, post-COVID economic recovery, disinformation, U.S. journalism and press freedom, diversity in the United States, and the structure and functioning of American governmental systems. In addition to building knowledge of domestic U.S. issues, the tour is intended to deepen participants understanding of U.S. foreign policy, Americas role in the world, and current debates shaping U.S. society and governance, with an emphasis on the policy priorities associated with the Biden Administration during the period described in the notice.
The selected implementer is responsible for both the program design and the full operational delivery. That includes developing promotional materials and an application process, collecting and managing candidate applications, and coordinating with the U.S. Embassy London and the UK-based partner organization on final participant selection. The implementer must also manage all logistics and costs tied to participation, including international and domestic travel, lodging, and ground transportation, and must build a substantive agenda of meetings and site visits. The agenda should connect participants with a range of relevant U.S. counterparts such as federal, state, and local officials; government agencies; civil society organizations; and U.S.-based journalists, giving the group multiple perspectives on policy, community impact, and media practice.
A key design expectation is that the itinerary reflects the geographic and cultural diversity of the United States. The notice suggests potential stops such as Washington, DC; New York City, New York; and Atlanta, Georgia, while leaving room for other suitable locations that broaden regional exposure and thematic relevance. The program is scheduled to take place during British university holidays in April 2022, which signals that the participants are likely to be students or trainees whose availability aligns with the academic calendar.
The opportunity also highlights compliance and participant support requirements that applicants must plan for in the budget and operational approach. If visas are needed, the proposal budget should cover associated fees as well as the mandatory USD 180 SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) fee per participant when applicable. The implementer is expected to already be registered, or be prepared to register, as a Designated Sponsor Organization to facilitate a U.S. government-funded exchange program if required; the notice points applicants to the J-1 sponsor information at https://j1visa.state.gov/sponsors/. On the participant welfare side, the implementer must plan for dietary needs (with explicit mention of halal and vegetarian awareness) and provide reasonable accommodations for participants with disabilities, indicating that inclusion and accessibility are program priorities and not optional add-ons.
The anticipated timeline lays out a structured sequence from award through closeout. The grant is expected to be awarded in August 2021, followed by curriculum and program outline development by the implementer in October 2021. Participant selection is slated for December 2021 in coordination between the Embassy and the UK-based partner. The exchange itself occurs in April 2022, followed by an assessment and debrief period in May 2022, and then project completion with a final report due by June 2022. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a tightly scoped, short-term exchange and reporting skills program that combines policy exposure, professional journalism engagement, and logistical execution, with one implementer accountable for end-to-end delivery and documented outcomes.Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2021 CA3008
